President Trump will travel to the seats of the world’s three major monotheistic faiths on his first foreign trip, the White House announced Thursday.
The visits to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the Vatican will take place during the fourth week of May, before Trump’s previously announced trip to meet with Nato allies in Brussels and G-7 leaders in Sicily. Senior Administration officials previewed the trip for reporters Thursday, saying the symbolic visit marks an effort to reset relations with the faith community and to “seize the opportunity” presented by the rise of the Islamic State to develop closer ties with Middle Eastern allies.

“We always wanted the festival to be a platform for local films which wouldn’t play well with regular releases, and this year we’ve been flooded with films produced outside the standard support system - and they are good films.”
